Description Wolfram Schneider freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2021-06-02 06:03:56 UTC 
I'm getting emails from our CI system about a hugo timeouts:

Error: Error building site: "/workspace/doc/website/content/en/google6bb24ed0b804d5e9.html:1:1": timed out initializing value. You may have a circular loop in a shortcode, or your site may have resources that take longer to build than the `timeout` limit in your Hugo config file.
*** [build] Error code 255

I saw this myself on a slow machine (universe13a).

Apparently, we run into a (default 10 sec?) timeout and under high I/O load we hit the limit, and the build stops. We should increase the timeout value.

    website: Move google-site-verification to the static dir

    There are many build failures with timeout on our ci, with the following
    message:

    Error: Error building site:
    "/workspace/doc/website/content/en/google96eb5b100ed66487.html:1:1":
    timed out initializing value. You may have a circular loop in a
    shortcode, or your site may have resources that take longer to build
    than the `timeout` limit in your Hugo config file.  *** [build] Error
    code 255

    This is an attempt to fix that without increasing timeout, this way Hugo
    won't handle these files anymore.

    Structure before:
      $ find website/public/ | grep google
      website/public/google96eb5b100ed66487
      website/public/google96eb5b100ed66487/index.html
      website/public/google6bb24ed0b804d5e9
      website/public/google6bb24ed0b804d5e9/index.html

    After:
      $ find website/public/ | grep google
      website/public/google6bb24ed0b804d5e9.html
      website/public/google96eb5b100ed66487.html

I'll keep this PR open for now and investigate if that happens again.

Seems this issue is not happening anymore.
